Web Interface
We had a brief look at the setup interface on the last page, but we should take a look at it all, and that’s what we’ll be doing on this page.
The first page that loads up is the general information and status page. It lists most features and settings as well as their state.
The WF2375 can run in three different modes. Either as Access Point (AP), Access Point Router (APR), or as Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP). Which mode you choose depends on your setup.
The network settings allow you to set, yes you guess it, the local LAN and DHCP settings.
There are two groups for the wireless setup and there only is one difference between them: The network band. The first page has the basic settings such as radio band and mode, SSID and password, and all the other channel and security settings.
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to link them, as is traditionally required.
There’s also a list for wireless-connected clients.
The WF2375 doesn’t feature a physical WPS button as it would be highly illogical. The default mounting location for this device would be on a pole or your roof, and as such, I doubt you’ll want to climb up there and press it every time. Instead, you can use the software function through the web interface.
The range settings for the signal LEDs can be user-set too, which is a nice feature. What’s default might not be what you need in your setup.
As mentioned, the 5G wireless settings are just like the 2G ones.
Last but not least, we have the system tools that allow us to change and monitor the access point itself.
The backup function might be a good one to look up once you’re done with all your settings. Create a backup of them just in case that they should be corrupted, or you accidentally change something that you shouldn’t have.
A simple Ping and Tracert tool is also built into the access point for easy fault diagnosis.
The default username is guest, and it doesn’t seem to be changeable, which is a bit weird. But at least it’s less likely to be brute forced than admin or administrator. Username aside, you should change the password away from the default and very insecure default.
Time settings can automatically be set by use of NTP servers, which is the default settings.
Regular reboots can also be scheduled.
And that’s it. There are two pages more, but they only contain a button for the action, and as such it’s a waste of bandwidth to show screenshots. They are for restarting the access point and reset it to the factory defaults.
